MSNBC's “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski is apparently having some sort of revelation regarding former President Bill Clinton.

Hill and Bill

The liberal co-anchor said former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton “needs to stop” talking about sexual harassment and assault until her husband, Bill Clinton, apologizes for the numerous allegations against him.

Matt Lauer’s office, one of the places where the former Today show host allegedly assaulted women through the use of a creepy auto-lock button on the door, will soon cease to exist. According to Page Six, NBC News reportedly is demolishing the room, removing his name plate from 30 Rock, and taking down all pictures of him.

Since NBC fired Lauer and Variety published its disturbing investigation into his sexual misconduct last week, Lauer’s wife has allegedly left the country and NBC has denied his request for a payout.

Now, like an aggrieved ex, NBC reportedly wants to erase every trace of Lauer. One network insider detailed the scene:

“Matt’s office is being completely demolished. Everything is going, including that button under his desk, his name plate, the photos of him in the hallways, the pictures of him online and on NBC News social media. They are so sickened by his behavior it is almost like they want to pretend he never existed.”

A bombshell report Monday links former ABC, NBC and NPR journalist John Hockenberry (pictured) to accusations of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment, months after he was forced out of radio station WNYC in New York City.

Hockenberry, the Emmy and Peabody award-winner, is now the latest in a growing number of public radio figures ousted from their jobs.

There was more than sexual harassment in Hockenberry’s case, however.

Around the same time, staffers reported he would show up late and underprepared for interviews. When the time came to renew his contract, this swirl of negativity and unprofessionalism reportedly contributed to the network's decision against his renewal.

The disgraced former co-anchor of the “Today” show, is reportedly still seeking $30 million from NBC for the remainder of his contract.

Matt Lauer’s lawyers are trying to get him the rest of his $20 million-per-year-contract that, if he hadn’t been fired abruptly for “inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace,” would have lasted another year and a half, through 2018.
